摘要：

As applications demanding microJoule level pulses at "real-time" rates of delivery increase, and the expectations in terms of long-term, reliable, high quality performance become greater, fiber lasers are becoming increasingly attractive sources. When a combination of excellent beam quality, flexibility in design for repetition rate over 100 kHz - 5 MHz, and robust design for operation in a variety of environments, in a plug-and-play, non-water cooled package are necessary, IMRA's fiber chirped-pulse amplifier (FCPA) system delivers in a compact, single-box solution. This type of laser has particular promise in precision material processing applications, enabling the use of technology that was previously considered too unstable or difficult to use.
